After graduation cum laude in Foreign Languages at the Cattolica University in Milan, I devoted myself to Theatre, attending the prestigious Training of the Scuola di Teatro Arsenale and the Master organized by Piccolo Teatro, Milan, under the guidance of Luca Ronconi.

My love for this path took me to deepen my knowledge following workshops led by famous actors and directors, among which Cesare Ronconi, Lorenzo Loris, Serena Sinigaglia, Tiziana Bergamaschi.

In these years of  practice, I also took up the studying of contemporary dance with choreographers like Abbondanza, Eugenio De Mello, Dieter Hietkamp.

Since 2008 I have been acting on Theatre  for children and young public, with prestigious collaborations: Teatro Città Murata, Teatro all'Improvviso, Teatro di Gianni e Cosetta Colla. My tournée took me to Usa, France, Uk and Brasil.

I create and realize shows of different kinds and offer them in schools and libraries, working with local artists and cultural realities.

My life is being an actress and being a teacher in theatre laboratiories for children and adults.

What’s more, I studied dramatherapy in Lecco, Centro di Artiterapia, and worked with disable and psychiatric patients, over 70s clients and hiv positive women in Kampala, Uganda.

One of my favourite project has been the creation of a theatre company in the prison of Busto Arsizio: it' has been a honour to work with this special group of students.

Every day I live a spontaneous on-going flow of recreation of my work.

Go to Elisa Carnelli's Workshop Yogatherapy and Dramatherapy: The Witness and the amazing show of life.
